The first section from Gstaad follows the Saane river along to Saanen and further to Unterbort towards the Grischbach valley. But instead of continuing deeper into the valley, turn left and cross the "Pont de la Scie" bridge to Rougemont. In Rougemont the valley side is changed and it goes over secondary roads and singletrails to Les Moulins. There the first ascent begins. About 700 meters of elevation must be overcome until you reach "Les Mossettes." This is followed by a descent over the Col de Sonlomont down to the shore of the Lac de l’Hongrin. From there it is only a few kilometers to the Col des Mosses. At the pass turn left and it continues to rise via Les Crosérins and Darbéla up to the Oudiou point. Here follows a descent before the last ascent begins up to just below the mountain station of the former Isenau railway. From there it goes into the descent and shortly afterwards you reach Retaud lake. An ideal place for a well-deserved break before the last, mostly descending and flat section via Col du Pillon, Gsteig and Grund back to Gstaad is tackled.

    The holiday region Gstaad is located in the southwest of Switzerland directly on the border to the French-speaking part of the country. The region is easily accessible by train or car from the Thun lake area, the Geneva lake area, and the Gruyère region. Direct connections to the European high-speed train network and to all international airports in Switzerland guarantee a time-saving and pleasant arrival. The main means of transport in the Gstaad region are the "MOB" railway (Montreux-Oberland Bernois) and numerous post bus lines.
